Wrapping up Pink for February

Here are a few more images of pink clothing and accessories to wrap the Color of the Month.
Stays 1660-1670, V&A
Manchester City Galleries 1947.921
Eliza Ann Farrar by Asahel Lynde Powers (American painter, 1813-1843) 
An evening gown designed by Elsa Schiaparelli, an Italian fashion designer. (I'm planning a series of posts on 20th century fashion designers in the near future.)
V&A
Here's a  hat by designer Philip Treacy. The museum's description of this hat reads ... "Hat made of shocking pink goose feathers." Shocking indeed! I'm including a less shocking hat from the 1920s.

This evening coat looks like some that could have been worn by one of the characters on Downton Abby.

  1. Wow, that Schiaparelli gown was much prettier than I expected when I was scrolling down. It's so ... normal!

  2. Yes, some of her creations are a bit strange. She's still one of my favorite designers though.
